‘Andor: Are You a Part of It?’:-

www.youtube.com/watch?v=48yRM9XDjG8 - a 2+ minute video from the SWFT youtube channel.
 

The blurb: ‘A short montage about the implementation and consequences of the Public Order Resentencing Directive in Andor.’

A quality ‘countdown clock’ for the start of Andor’s 2nd season…

Skinny jeans are an awful attempt to being back the drainpipe jeans of the early 80’s and make them ‘fashionable’ again. Just no. Feck off.

Plus they should be cheaper than regular jeans as there’s a lot less material used.

In summary, while some scientists and philosophers argue that Free Willy is an illusion due to the deterministic nature of the universe, others maintain that Free Willy can be real even within a deterministic framework. The existence of Free Willy remains a contentious issue without a definitive resolution.

 
and it is this conversation that isn’t…

Said with so many positive waves that even Willy could surf them into reality (not that he’d need to, of course).

The blurb: 'The owner of the UK’s longest surviving DVD rental store is surprised that business is thriving - 40 years after they opened.

Colin Richards, 71, opened TVL Allstar Video in Haverhill, Suffolk, UK in 1984 and it originally started as a company that leased video tapes to other shops.

He then decided to start renting films and the store now has around 8,500 DVDs including Forrest Gump - which has been borrowed at least 2,000 times.’

‘Star Wars: Original Trilogy Music Mix (Relaxing, Nostalgic) VHS Sound Quality’:-

www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMywm5W8T9c - a 2 hour video from the Helix youtube channel.
 

The blurb: ‘Sit back and enjoy the nostalgic sounds of the original VHS-audio soundtracks–specifically a relaxing mix of low-energy or calm theme songs without combat music or too much drama. For some of us, Star Wars was just the Original Trilogy for over 20 years, before any serious new movies came out. 20 years of games, books, comics, shows, and more…all dreaming of what the original three established for us. This music mix is for a quick trip back to that time–a time when we still didn’t even know what the Clone Wars looked like, and we could only dream. And a time when crossed wires and old, heavily-used tapes from Blockbuster sounded a little rough. But we made do. 😃’

The blurb: ‘The Jacob vintage Star Wars collection recently went on auction with some of the rarest Star Wars toys on the planet. Let’s see what the top vintage items sold for.’

A bit too much of ‘the highest possible grading in the world’ for me 😉 Yet an insightful video all the same… especially given some of the eye watering prices that some of these OT pieces went for (plus a few vintage pieces from outside the GFFA).
